About Used Convertibles

As one of the most extravagant ways to get around, a convertible car is a fun way of hitting the road - especially when the sun is shining.

Closely related to sports cars, a used convertible can be a gateway to a car that prioritises driving experience over practicality or frugal motoring.

What does a used Convertible offer?

The most obvious benefit to a convertible car is that it can offer unlimited headroom, and make your summers much more memorable.

Most convertibles will have a sporty nature to them, so you may also get to enjoy a more dynamic driving experience than most cars, though when the roof is down a convertible can be susceptible to a bit of ‘shake’ at speed due to a loss of rigidity.

You’ll find a used convertible car exclusively in a two-car guise, but they can have two or four seats available for driver and passengers, though the boot will often be compromised by the compartment for the roof to accommodate it when it’s down, though this will differ between models.

You’ll also be able to choose between convertibles with either a soft top or a hard top, with the latter offering something more akin to a coupe when the roof is up.

Who are Convertibles best for?

While some may see a convertible car as a heavily compromised setup for motoring, there are plenty of drivers out there who fully appreciate the wind in their hair and a compact vehicle to drive with a bit of enthusiasm.

Obviously the biggest benefit to buying a used convertible car is the fact that the roof comes down when the conditions allow, and you can enjoy one of the purest driving experiences available on public roads.

Like a sports car, convertibles are not the most inconspicuous vehicle to be driving around in, so a potential buyer should probably be happy to be seen on the road.

Also like their fixed-roof counterparts, a convertible can often be set up for a more dynamic driving experience, making it a great choice for those who love a B road blast.

Just don’t expect a massive amount of practicality, or a cheap-to-run package, as boots are typically smaller than normal and the likes of fuel and insurance costs are increased with a convertible.
